Cool, very tidy! It even looks as if… I mean—is it wired?
Yes it is wired. I just hide it all.
So cool!

My ACA sticks to the ceiling 🙂
I used to use my iPhone+bludento+dac as source, but replaced the first two with an opticalrendu running LMS+squeezelite. The improvement was not marginal, especially for complex acoustic stuff like classical music.
While I find speakers and amps much more interesting subjects, they can only deliver as much as the source allows.
looks like a new kind of drone with the four heatsinks ; ), nice!, but it works (flyes), its on the ceiling ; )

I actually never thought about how it looks like a drone noelectrix... it sure does!🙂
To: maximax77, I am sure it is a nice improvement but until i get that extra 0 added to my paycheck each week, such "bargains" are out of reach.

Yet Another F5 V3
Hi Getlemen,
here is my freshly mounted F5 V3.
Many, many thanks to Nelson Pass for this beautifull design and all that answered my questions on the old "F5 power amplifier" thread.
And thanks to diyAudio for sharing this superb amplifier. This design reminds me the old programmers idea named KISS,
as Keep it, Simply, Stupid. And you can try it any time your problem is outgrowing you 🙂
My implementation has a soft-start and speaker DC protect board mounted on the back panel (thanks once more AudioSan for this tip),
so there is no necessary to use hot running thermistors.
Now I can say - this is very cool sounding amplifier 😉
Some measurements will be done soon...

Hello members,
I have started a new build. A pair of monoblocks.
Am I allowed to call it a diy - Pass - amp? Not really - it is no official recipe
from Mr. Pass. But I was influenced to try this. I don't blame anybody!!!
So, we will see where it ends.
Fire-extinguisher ready

Cheers
Dirk 😀

Congratulations to your build, looking very nice!
Could you please post a link to the soft-start and speaker DC protect circuit you used? Highly appreciated, thanks!
Some work on the PSU...🙄 A little CRC-filter
Looking very nice, x fingers that everything works out!
Are you building balanced or SE mono blocks?
Hangin' the toroids into the frame...😱
Nice, the case inspired from Dartzeel monos?
Are you going to use Air chokes as well for filtering in the PSU?

-complementary-Mosfets, not balanced - will be a source follower
- no chokes in the PSU - till now
Cheers
